This Gunfight Will Last Exactly 5 Seconds

Let’s pretend we have a God’s eye view of a gunfight developing on a city street or a battlefield somewhere. To keep it simple, we will say that there are two people: person A and person B.

Because we have this God’s eye view, we know how this little drama will play out. We know that this gunfight will last exactly 5 seconds from the second the first shot is initiated. We also know that person A is a common street thug, and person B is a good police officer who has all the required training.

Person A (street thug) starts the gunfight, and because he doesn’t know all that much about how to guarantee his hits, he will have to shoot all of his rounds in his magazine. Person A sees his rounds impacting around the officer and he is “walking" his rounds in to his target.

The police officer (Person B) was caught in condition white, so as he burnt his first .25 seconds up by reacting to the thug, and he now has 4.75 seconds to live.
